Multichrome waterfall mani

I've been wanting to try this waterfall mani for a while - using my beloved multi-chromes over black.  These just pop in a magical way when worn with a black "undies" layer, and I never wear them without something underneath to bring out their potential.

I'm pleased with the result, though next time I'll definitely use a skinnier brush for finer strokes. 

 

I used my go-to black, Fingerpaints "Black Expressionism", as well as ILNP "Nostalgia", "Mutagen", and "Cygnus Loop", as well as Nubar "Indigo Illusion".  Even in the bottles, these chromes are dazzling!  I'm definitely an ultra-chrome addict, I need them all.

 

I'm not feeling clever enough to bore you with lots of text, so please enjoy the picture spam!

I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did!   Happy painting, polish lovers!

These curious kitty nails were inspired by pinterest!

 The pin was a tutorial for a cute shoe makeover, but of course, I felt called to adapt it to my fingers instead!  The original source and tutorial (which can be followed pretty directly for these nails) can be found at Kittenhood.  I would suggest using striping tape instead of painter's tape on your nails, though!  

I used Zoya "Dea" for the brown, Fingerpaints "Black Expressionism" for the black, and Zoya "Purity" for the white details.  Followed by some Seche Vite, and China Glaze "Matte Magic" over the brown for a nice contrast of textures.
